After two days of struggling, I finally got my Epson C67 printer to work again. All in the name of upgrading GIMP-Print to Gutenprint which should provide better support for the printer, especially for photo printing.
The initial build process for Gutenprint was smooth - no error what so ever. But when I tried to print - nothing happen. After much reading and Google around, I found the problem was due to dependency issues. This simply means I had to re-build my Gimp and Ghostscript to newer versions (and also I took the opportunity to re-build CUPS). Only after all those re-built I managed to print again. I just wish there is an easier way to resolve dependency in the future.
